Answer:

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors." There are 5 parasite species that cause malaria in humans, and 2 of these species – P. falciparum and P. vivax – pose the greatest threat.

In 2018, P. falciparum accounted for 99.7% of estimated malaria cases in the WHO African Region 50% of cases in the WHO South-East Asia Region, 71% of cases in the Eastern Mediterranean and 65% in the Western Pacific.

P. vivax is the predominant parasite in the WHO Region of the Americas, representing 75% of malaria cases.

A population of 400 squirrels, living in ideal conditions, has a birth rate of 50 squirrels and a death rate of 40 squirrels per

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Increases.

Explanation:

There are 10 squirrels increases per generation if the birth rate is 50 squirrels and a death rate is 40 squirrels. There is slow increase occur in the population of squirrel due to more birth rate as compared to death rate. If the birth rate is equal to death rate, no increase occur in the population while on the other hand, decrease occur in the population, if the birth rate is lower than death rate so according to the given data, the population of squirrel increases.

Answer:

C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.

D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.

E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.

Explanation:

The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.

If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.

Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.
